My partner has been threatening to throw away stuff, as I have a habit of letting stuff pile up and not have the need, time, patience or expertise to finish projects.

Anything that makes a sound and would be compact to store is considdered as trade material. I like effects, could use more potmeters, switches,OTA's , other parts you might have bought in bulk.

Another trade option would be I could build you something and you build me something. I like the sound of bent and diy stuff, and do solder, but enjoy the mechanical aspect of building / modifying more than the soldering. So I could make your enclosures or interface, you could build me circuits. (my stuff has the "meticoulously improvised handbuilt from recycled stuff" look. No pristene pro looking laserprinted frontplates)

Don't be offended , I'm interested in your sounds but due to lack of money I will probably not be buying any CD's, and if I would I'd probably listen to them once or twice. Most of the music I hear is online nowadays and usually listened to once.

I'm going to bring my modified electric guitar for sale or trade. This is a Fender Squire Affinity Strat in black with serial #1 of the Own Your Tone guitar kit installed. This kit makes the guitar sound better than possible with pickups because it does not have the second order low-pass filter characteristics of all those turns of wire. Instead, it has magnets under the strings and a hidden transformer that do the job.

The guitar also has a handle-hole cut in it, a custom chainmaille strap that is a fixed length (extra long), and comes with optional stand, cable, and Fender Frontman 15G amplifier. I figure that being serial #1 of a new product that makes the guitar sound better is worth something from a collecting perspective. Plus the thing has literally hundreds of hours of development time in it.

I'd like to get $500 for the whole thing, which is a deal because I've got about $400 in it and oodles of time and effort as well.

Also I will be taking pre-orders for Own Your Tone guitar kits which are $150 each. You can install the kit yourself or have a luthier do it, because the kit installation is a bit much for some folks.

If someone wants to trade me an old Mac notebook, say about 2006 or 2007 vintage, for the guitar then I can manage that. Or maybe I could include a little cash or throw in the nearly new $300 netbook that I have if you have a decent Mac notebook to trade.

I'm currently using my eMac and netbook in combination to run the Game Show, and the eMac hard disk is full plus it's a real kludge of a setup. I'd much rather do the show from a more modern Mac of any flavor really, iMac, Mac Mini, or MacBook - whatever will work for the show and my general purpose use.

If you have items you don't think you can sell or trade, consider offering them as door prizes. We'll have a drawing each day.

Dude, I've got a show controller that i built myself. I doubt if I can sell it cause it's a highly specialized piece of kit. Would be a great door prize for a ChucKist or somesuch. Just let me know....

p.s. it cost about $75 to build, but i had the parts in stock so it was basically free for me..._________________"Let's make noise for peace." - Kijjaz

I've poked around in eBay and a few other places to get an idea for market prices for the things I'm selling.

It looks like $180 would be a fair price for the Kaoss KP2. I have the original power wart and box. It's barely used (I upgraded to the KP3).

$180 is also the price I have on each of the Yamaha TX 802 units.

The Vortex goes for $180 as well. I have the manual and double foot switch, which is hard to find.

(Just a coincidence that everything comes out to about $180.)

I can't decide what to sell the MGB Synth Lite II for; there haven't been any recent sales on eBay. I keep thinking I should keep it. But I'll bring it with me and consider offers over $250. I bought it off Mark Jenkins, analog expert and musician, at the first E-M in 2005. I also have the manual printed out. It's in excellent condition, only used in my smoke-free, animal restricted, vegan studio and three electro-music conferences.

the first EM swap meet was a great success! i scored some great equipment that i both bought and traded for.

i was also so glad to get rid of almost everything i brought...which was cool to see those instruments put to some good use!

look forward to next years swap meet and would like to encourage people to bring more things to trade! There was a lot of interest in the swap meet, but most people were more interested in buying. I have no problem with selling and buying...but it would be cool to see more stuff for trade in the future as well.

i will bring stuff for trade next year... this year i wasn't sure how exactly it would go, so i was hesitant to lug a bunch of stuff that far. but we have many things that would be good to sell/trade that would be useful for electro-musicians, from generic stuff like lots of knobs and switches, to several keyboards and toys and such.

Flying from the UK I really couldn't bring anything, and I really shouldn't have bought anything either, but for some reason I just couldn't resist

It was great fun just hanging out at Dan's Toy Store and watching everyone have fun with his collection of musical toys and stuff, and I'm having greta fun with the VSS30 I bought and will be using it for future live stuff for sure
